@Bad Guy Good Manner can you be more specific or give some background to that

no it isnt. she LEFT home to make money by being a prosty. ITS CLEAR AS DAY!

Let’s calm down there

This used to be every Christmas growing up. My grandparents had 12 kids, and one of my aunts left home at 16. Every year during the holidays she'd get drunk and cry about how my grandparents didn't come get her.

@@epbrown01 back in the days they just had a bunch of kids. One of my grandma’s siblings passed away very early. In poorer countries they still have a bunch of children and they have the mindset that’s ages old in thinking more kids to work and bring money so they aren’t thought of as children but just objects to bring income. So most of the females who get sent to the city to do bar girl work generally don’t want to go home to see their parents because all their parents will do is ask money from them. Backwards societies

@@tainanking you are correct. This mindset is still around in modern society especially in third world countries. The parent literally treat their kids as retirement investments when they got older. They literally want kids cuz of money not because they actually want kids.

I do not have an attachment to being alive but two things keep me going. I wake with interest every morning, wondering what new thing I’ll learn and finding new ways to be myself.

I had a great life, but never had long term plans or goals, never really wanted to accomplish anything, just wanted to take life in while I had it. Now I am directionless, I don't really care what happens to me, i have no goals or dreams, despite thinking about what I should try to accomplish all the time.

@@hexmymind this video is about japan, are you blind or you can't read the title?

It's because in Japanese culture you're not allowed to show your suffering to others because it's not good to make others worry so they usually bottle everything inside and are not used to talking about mental health issues... which makes things even worse

By the other hand, Japan also looks like that quiet and introvert guy of the class. Who mostly doesn't express it's feelings openly to others. The example of these are the modern Hikikomori.

Modern cities are designed to be atomizing

All cities are like that. I've seen it in London and NY. Homeless everywhere and people just ignoring anyone who's lying on the pavement. But you gotta accept reality and find beauty where you can. Have to learn to adapt and build relationships. There will be a number of people in your life who care about you and who you care about. And the rest ..... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't belive this. I think everyone has some form of kindness in their hearts. However in japan it's just forced to be pushed aside somewhat. In japan nobody leaves a courtesy seat for someone with a disability, in China everyone stands up. Kindness needs to be taught to be shown. I'm friends online with many people around the world. But I taught myself balance. I came out as trans and they all were super supportive and kind. That's why I belive the world is kind at heart. Sure, I've gotten death threats. Sure, I've gotten bullied. But those people are people that have their own journey to make.

I’m a loner too with no strong attachment to life and wonder at people who have drive. Sometimes I envy it but more often it just puzzles me. Instead, I can feel joy from my own imagination. I put interesting things in my brain that occupy my mind and look forward to learning new ideas. I actually embrace being myself more often when I am alone, as I am a unique being unlike any that exists, just as I can never be any other person. Just being myself gives my life meaning and value. Learn things and be yourself. You might look forward to the morning and how it may surprise you. This is fulfillment for an introvert.

The loneliness & melancholy are heartbreaking for me to watch. They know their future will be bleak regardless of how much they strive to improve their lives, and this hopelessness would be the leading cause of their mental health decline. Most would not be bothered to find a life partner, knowing they don't have the means to start life as a married couple. So, they resign themselves to a life of indefinite desolation, and still, they can muster a smile when we know deep down, their hearts are full of sadness, knowing they don't have anywhere to go and nothing to look forward to. My heart goes out to them. 😥......I'm crying.

I disagree with this claim. The majority of the most notable philosophers from those periods spanning from the Hellenistic Era to the Renaissance to the 19th and 20th century agree that solitude is one cardinal ingredient in the cuisine of personal growth and character development. "Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul." - Marcus Aurelius, c. AD 170-180 Meditations, bk.4, no.3 (translated by M Staniforth). "He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a wild beast or a god". - Aristotle, Aristotlian Ethics, Scholars Select "To live alone one must be a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.290, Penguin “In solitude there grows what anyone brings into it, the inner beast too. Therefore solitude is inadvisable to many.” - Nietzsche, Will to Power "A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, in solitude everyone has to face himself." - Arthur Schopenhauer "The two conditions that lead others to languor - i.e. leisure and solitude - him made sharper." - Cicero, Book III, section 1 - De Officiis - On Duties (44 BC) "Without great solitude, no serious work is possible." - Pablo Picasso "Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity, is to genius the stern friend." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Culture. - The Conduct of Life (1860) “A bore is someone who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.” - Oscar Wilde "The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude." - Aldous Huxley "The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself." - Mark Twain There's a fine difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness is one thing, solitude another. If you're unable to grow in solitude than you're in bad company.

@@oogway73 good food for thought

I think Naruto said something like that once

@@cainagnascimento YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

Depends on the person.

"go with the flow" I don't think so, sometimes where it goes I dont' wanna go, so I'll learn to row. Swim, anything but be swept away by the current.

@@DS-ld8ns you opened my eyes with your comment. I would love to connect with you. How do we become friends?

@@voyeger4464Just keep em open, You'll see there is a friend in Me. all around the world round. On the street, from where you seek, infront of a mirror is a peek. Make it up the steep peak. Then you'll learn to speak. Errors made pave the way, riding waves up and downs, turning frowns back to smiles. protecting crowns. healing heads. I must do by my will, for real. not that of others say. I'll have to make it my own way. For if i choose ot go the way of "others" say. It may be to my own dismay. Losing a battle, teaches the war. Warship, "worship" taking note and take heed. That all you read. aims to captivate your thought. I'm self taught. Not for naught. I learn through my own flow and to all those that say let go. I'll say NO. Storms make it rough to navigate the sea, sometimes I can't see.

@@DS-ld8ns 🤣

Dead fish swim with the current

I just wonder how is the situation going on there with the virus...

yeah lovely... and dead...

@@andreimunteanu750 You're a pathetic person

Maybe those storylines are made up and people are payed actors

@@whyintheworldamiallowedsuc400 why is that ? i just stated a fact , she is literally dead , and you can't blame me for stating the truth

They should do a followup, but it might be hard to find the people they interviewed.

There was a follow up article somewhere on a Korean news site about neighboring countries in 2019, this was featured and most of these people in this video have either moved out or gone somewhere else because their room numbers have different people in them. I have no idea where Hitomi is because her room was occupied by a different guy in the video on the article. If I can find it I’ll link it.

@@Youngy find the link

ＯＫ

No wonder they ban people for nothing

I heard the guy commit suicide . I really not sure about this.

Because of the pandemic they closed all cyber cafes and all of who live there are struggling to find a place , some have become homeless , tough times.

:(

5 years now

@@odairshinyashimozono2057 where have you heard it?

The way she holds her phone and cigaret. You can see har hands shaking. It is sad.

@@bighairymeow9664 i couldnt tell if that was her but regardless i saw that and it made me so sad. whatever is causing that shake, its not good :(

She is a very strong woman. She was able to put a smile on her face despite being very sad

It’s just a smoker voice

@@yra253 when you live in a big city like Tokyo, it's kinda the default mannerism, just seem agreeable and maintain positive body movements and you'll blend in.

thats good. she looks cute. hard to believe she couldnt find someone to be her bf.

please can you give the name of the vlog page

Did you have the vlog of Hitomi?

It's not as though they're starving in some god-forsaken third world country. Nothing is preventing them from going out into the real world and making friends.

They don't even have it bad.

I hate this kind of comparison. Some people try to cope with their shitty reality by acknowledging that there are other people in an even worse situation

@@Igordrs But is there really a fine line between third world poverty and first world problems?

@@jennysimpson564 You can't be that alienated. I can't possibly believe you have no idea what depression looks like

This is the realest comment I’ve seen

Yea you keep falling that it's hard to change

Not everyone who goes there are like these people in this video...

I find it the as the REAL definition of FREEDOM

That's the all idea behind cities. Electricity = light in the w/tomb.

she's also literally living in a cubicle at a web cafe lmao, i'd maybe take her muddled advice with a grain of salt, its good to be positive just not to let life take you wherever

@@tvco2svd please take what I say with a grain of salt. I simply meant her understanding of her situation is admirable. We are shown someone in a horrible situation with a huge amount of self awareness. I agree with what you've said though.

@@RawrasauRX-78 ahh two correct sides of an argument . I too wish to just feel joy and positive , every one of my 18 year old self dreams and ambitions are derived to just simply feel joy as I am right now trying to get into uni. I’ll remember that quote

That part was so soul gripping. I felt my heart drop. It's not just her... There's thousands of them....not just necessarily just in Japan. I really hope she is still with us ❤️❤️❤️. My heart goes out for these people.

from what I understand this young woman has since passed away. Can this be confirmed? If so, RIP.

True bro

feel sad about the girl :(

She was probably more open and honest, just a guess, but sometimes we try to make illusions about stuff to make it better. Like him saying things about neighbors, there is probably another reason, but that's just a guess, we don't really know how someone feels. Hope they find good things for them, hope life smiles in their direction.

It do be like that. Its strange. I have no actual reason for depressions and still cant get rid of them. These people dont even life humane anymore and still find reasons to continue going. Strong people.

Hmmm

@@peterlustig6888 please seek help their is no shame in it, depression can hit everyone, even those with a seemingly good life

Which leads me to believe she is not depressed. It also makes me think of the many people around the world who struggle to survive day by day. The struggle to survive keeps them going even when living in abject poverty. They are happy to get a meal or even a bite to eat for the day. Just hope one day we as humans can one day overcome this seemingly conditional part of our existence as a whole.

You've unlocked isekai.

Lord Cregan Stark how was being on a sub I’d be paranoid a leak would happen or sum quick

Thank you both for your service! (Jeff and Stark) Glad you made it home safe. ✌️

The sense of having firewatch and every one around me was a feeling i had never had when i joined. Its strange living with others and vice versa when you've done it for so long.

It's kinda weird how you don't notice sounds until they're gone. With covid-19 lockdowns then going back to work, I never realized how loud it was. Very loud. Plus the gym, I never really paid attention to the sounds but suddenly it got very loud and almost impossible to stay around.

thats how a dog feels when you leave for 10 mins.
